The motorcycle section has this week taken delivery of a new fleet of patrol bikes.
The bikes are Yamaha FJR1300s, deep blue in colour and replace the former fleet of Honda Pan European ST 1300's.
The new bikes are a departure for Durham Constabulary in that they are the first vehicles in the whole fleet to adopt the national Battenberg style of police livery.
In addition they are the first Durham police bikes to be fitted with Incident Data Recorders which act rather like a black box in that should a collision occur they will instantly record data to help investigators establish the cause.
